FYI - <conio.h> is non-standard...

<conio> / <conio.h> is non-standard. (It's not part of the ANSI/ISO C++ language standard.) This means that it's not included with every compiler, and each implimentation of <conio> may be different. That said, it is a psudo-standard and most compilers will have it.

If you want to change color or shading (or include graphics), you will have to use something non-standard. Anything beyond plain text is non-standard.

...maybe post some code.

prog-bman is asking you to post your code... not conio.c.

If simply including <conio> caused the errors, then maybe your compiler is configured incorrectly, or maybe this particular <conio> didn't come with your compiler, and isn't compatible with it???

yea i understand the thing about standard/non standard things. for some reason i didnt have that enum colors in conio.h. after prog-bman showedme how to get conio to work i looked at the new source file and the old one and the old one didnt have that enum thing.
